    Kid Ego = DLR

    While it is well known that VH was a major influence on Extreme and Nuno was supposed to be the next EVH, I had never heard that their song "KID EGO" was written about DLR. Have any of you ever heard this before? Supposedly there is an interview out there somewhere but so far I have not been able to Google it.

    From the album 'Extreme'

    Come down
    Hey kid, I'm talkin' to you
    What am I supposed to do
    You know that you're something special
    That's something you already knew
    Hey kid, got something to say
    But you won't listen anyway
    I am only tryin' to help you
    But you get further every day

    We think your head is getting
    Bigger and bigger and bigger

    Hey kid, some good advice
    To bring your britches down to size
    Some modesty would suit you better
    So why don't you give it a try

    Hey kid ego
    With your head above the clouds
    Hey kid ego
    Come down

    Hey kid, you're Mr. IT
    Inch by inch a little bit
    Stepping on the little people
    Like you don't even give a shit
    Hey kid, you have it all
    Standing proud on top of the world
    Don't you know the bigger they come
    The harder they must all fall

    We think your head is getting
    Bigger and bigger and bigger
    We think you should be taught
    Some manners, manners, manners

    Hey kid, some good advice
    To bring your britches down to size
    Some modesty would suit you better
    So why don't you give it a try

      What? Why the roll eyes? I'm serious about this. Someone mentioned to me this weekend that this song was written about DLR and that it has been in a few Extreme interviews. I seriously wonder if this is true or not because I had never heard it before and thought maybe some of you die hards had.

      Geeze... Sorrrry

            Who gives a shit?

            Not to rain on Extreme's parade, but who the fuck were they to be writing a tune criticizing Roth's ego?

            Fuckin' one-hit ass bandits.

              I don't know. Fact is that they were huge VH fans. In my search for some proof of this I did find several interviews where Gary was quoted as saying that he ended up hating the song and that it made him cringe.

                Extreme does that to me, too. never liked them.
                Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.

                            That is one of the funniest posts I have ever seen on this forum.

                              Gee, thats funny, Because DLR had them as an opening act during the ALAE tour. As a matter of fact Extreme opened the show then Cinderella came on. Of course THE DIAMOND ONE headlined.
